I-athikhili ibhalwe ngu-Catherine Conan, isazi sokudla

Masiyilungise kabusha cholesterol ngoba iyinto ebalulekile ekuphileni. Ngempela, ngedosi evamile, ibamba iqhaza ekwakhiweni kwamangqamuzana obuchopho, inhliziyo, isikhumba, njll., amahomoni athile kuhlanganise namahomoni ocansi, ekuhlanganiseni kwe-vitamin D edingekayo ukuze kulungiswe i-calcium ethanjeni. Kepha qaphela: kukhona i-cholesterol ne-cholesterol.

I-cholesterol ephelele egazini, ephathwa njenge i-lipoprotein, isamba se I-HDL cholesterol (High Density Lipoprotein) noma “i-cholesterol enhle”, kanye I-cholesterol ye-LDL (I-Low Density Lipoprotein) noma “i-cholesterol embi”.

The I-LDL lipoproteins qinisekisa ukuthuthwa nokusatshalaliswa kwe-cholesterol kuwo wonke amaseli emzimbeni. Ngaphezu kwalokho, bathuthukisa ukwakheka kwe-atheromatous plaque.atherosclerosis). Ngokuqondene ne-HDL, ayazuzisa ngoba enza okuphambene ngokulawula i-cholesterol eyeqile emangqamuzaneni eya esibindi. I Ama-lipoprotein e-HDL ngakho-ke vikela impilo yenhliziyo nemithambo yegazi.

Ukuthi izinga le-cholesterol ye-HDL eliphansi kakhulu noma izinga le-cholesterol ephezulu ye-LDL likubeka engozini ye-coronary artery disease (= isifo senhliziyo).

Yini ethinta i-cholesterolemia?

• Izakhi zofuzo ezifanai-hypercholesterolemia umndeni kanye (icala elingavamile);

• Ukudla okungenakulinganisela okubonisa a ukudla okunamafutha amaningi agcwele amafutha ;

• Ukudla kwe-cholesterol. Nokho, kufanele wazi ukuthi ingxenye enkulu ye-cholesterol emizimbeni yethu yenziwa isibindi;

• Izinguquko ngazinye. Ngenkathi kwabanye, ukudla okucebile nge-cholesterol kudala izindlela zokulawula ukulwa nokwanda ngokweqile kwamazinga e-cholesterol yegazi, kwabanye, kunzima kakhulu ukulinganisa ngokuzenzakalelayo ukwakheka kwe-cholesterol esibindini nokudla.
